The Steve Winwood Broadcast Archive - Volume 2 - Traffic - Live In Stockholm '67

The Steve Winwood Broadcast Archive - Volume 2 - Traffic - Live In Stockholm '67 - 2020

With the compelling talent of Steve Winwood in it's ranks Traffic was always likely to be a force to be reckoned with. Along side the mercurial ability of Winwood the other members Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason produced a unique sound incorporating Jazz, Rock, folk and Eastern music. This CD demonstrates the different elements Traffic contained which made them one of England's most influential groups. The sound quality is well balanced and showcases how good Traffic were when playing live

Eddie Hinton - Letters From Mississippi

Eddie Hinton - Letters From Mississippi - 1987

From AMG

Guitarist, songwriter, and singer Eddie Hinton may be one of the great, unheralded white blues musicians of all time. Fortunately, fans can latch onto a few recordings on compact disc. Hinton died far too young at the age of 51 on July 28, 1995, yet his guitar playing can be heard all over famous recordings by famous people -- hit records by Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Joe Tex, Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge, the Staple Singers, the Dells, Johnny Taylor, Elvis Presley, Boz Scaggs, Hour Glass, Otis Redding, and even reggae star Toots Hibbert of Toots & the Maytals.

Hinton was a session guitarist non-pareil. After working with Southern bands like the Spooks and the Five Minutes, he played lead guitar for Muscle Shoals Sound rhythm section from 1967 to 1971. What most people didn't know at the time was that Hinton was also a talented singer, songwriter, arranger and producer in his own right. In the late '60s, Muscle Shoals was something of a hit factory for Atlantic Records recording artists, under the careful, patient tutelage of legendary producer Jerry Wexler. Hinton was just 22 when he was invited to the Shoals area by fellow songwriter and producer Martin Greene. The Hinton/Greene songwriting and producing team produced several country/soul hits, including "Cover Me," and "It's All Wrong But It's Alright" for Percy Sledge.
